I’m a big fan of Gretchen Rubin and The Happiness Project. One of the things she did during her year of searching for happiness is to develop 12 personal commandments to help guide her daily interactions. She wrote about it here.
I love this idea so much. It makes sense, but the trick is to really dig deep and think about your 12, and then jot them down somewhere you’ll see them often so they’re top-of-mind.
I’m still working on mine, but I’m thinking:
- Be Andrea
- Take action
- Take the high road
- Remember joy
- Love
- Create
- Let go of fear
- Take care of myself
- Pursue my passions
- Live mindfully
- ?
What would you include in your own personal commandments? What do you need to remember as you move through your days?
